The Indispensable Nine-Layered Thunder Blade

"It's dawn. Mom and Dad should be up by now. I've passed the actual combat examination, so I should let the family know."

Luo Feng didn't dwell on it any further. He smiled, took his phone out from his pocket, and dialed his family's number.

In Yangzhou City, one of the eight satellite cities of Jiangnan Base City, inside Bright Moon Residential Quarter.

Luo Hongguo, his wife Gong Xinlan, and their younger son Luo Hua were all in the living room of their home.

The couple had tossed and turned all night long, unable to get a good night's sleep.

At this moment, the entire family had dark circles under their eyes.

They had heard from other Martial Artists in the residential quarter yesterday that the Martial Artist actual combat examination had a mortality rate of three to five percent.

Even though they knew their son was highly talented, as long as they didn't have definitive news, their hearts couldn't be at ease.

Just then, a cheerful ringtone began to play.

Mother Gong Xinlan took her phone out of her pocket, glanced at it, and a look of joy appeared on her face. She quickly answered and habitually pressed the speakerphone button.

"Mom, I passed the Martial Artist actual combat examination. I'll be home tonight, so make sure to prepare something good to eat."

The next second, a voice came through the phone.

Father Luo Hongguo smiled, and Luo Hua, sitting in his wheelchair, smiled as well.

"Good, good, Mom will definitely prepare lots of delicious food."

Gong Xinlan was even more excited.

August 2nd, evening, Yangzhou City, Bright Moon Residential Quarter.

Luo Feng finally returned home.

Along the way, neighbors greeted him warmly from time to time. Although everyone in the residential quarter was a Martial Artist.

There were still levels among Martial Artists.

Someone like Luo Feng, who had been specially recruited by the Limit Martial Arts Hall in advance, was destined for extraordinary achievements in the future, so the Martial Artists in the quarter were all willing to be on good terms with him.

He walked to Villa 199.

"Mom, Dad."

Luo Feng saw his parents and the family's nanny at his doorstep at a single glance.

"It's good to be home. Come on, let's go eat."

Father Luo Hongguo immediately smiled.

That night, the family was very happy. After all, from this moment on, from a legal standpoint, Luo Feng was already an official Martial Artist!

Late at night, after Luo Feng had spent time with his family until quite late and everyone had fallen asleep.

Luo Feng went to the second-floor media room.

"I can finally spend money to buy secret manuals."

Luo Feng was a bit excited. In this world, there were some special internal networks that required specific identities to access.

Only Martial Artists of the Limit Martial Arts Hall were qualified to enter the internal Martial Artist network of the Limit Martial Arts Hall—Limit Home!

"Limit Home."

Luo Feng typed the URL on the keyboard.

Suddenly, a massive 200-inch screen appeared on one of the walls in the media room, and the screen immediately loaded the "Limit Home" website.

"Beep."

Luo Feng verified his fingerprint.

Instantly, a personal page appeared on the giant screen, displaying some of Luo Feng's information.

Name: Luo Feng.

Gender: Male.

Address: Jiangnan Base City, China.

Martial Artist ID Number: 426123205608010002

Level: Warrior Level (Junior)

Contribution Points: 0

Currency Balance: 100 million Chinese Yuan

In the quiet media room, Luo Feng stared at the giant screen on the wall.

"100 million Chinese Yuan. I finally have money.

I'll take some out for Mom and Dad to use, and give some to Luo Hua so he can use it for stock trading."

Luo Feng didn't actually have a great need for this money himself; he already had a Grade 6 Battle Blade, a shield, a full set of combat gear, and six S-Rank Flying Daggers.

These pieces of equipment are perfectly sufficient for him to use until he reaches the Advanced Warrior level.

Moreover, inside his Space Ring, he still has eight pieces of Grade 2 equipment.

There are battle blades, battle armor, combat boots, and daggers.

They were all looted from the H-level monsters in Monster Town previously.

These weapons and equipment are slightly better than the average Grade 2 gear found on the market.

If he were to take them to the HR Alliance to sell, these items could fetch several million.

As for the relatively expensive secret manuals and such, he still has a special fund of 500 million.

I should buy the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade first, Luo Feng thought to himself.

Purchasing the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade was something Luo Feng had planned long ago; after all, it is currently the best secret manual on Earth, and it also covers guiding techniques and Movement Technique.

After practicing it, one can not only accelerate their cultivation speed but also achieve a maximum explosive force of seven times.

As soon as Luo Feng opened Limit Home, he saw two unread messages.

He clicked on them to find two short videos.

They were both introductions to the Limit Home website.

Luo Feng was already familiar with the situation, so he skipped the two introductory videos directly.

He then found the "Secret Manuals" page.

Suddenly—the massive screen on the wall of the media room displayed various detailed categories of secret manuals.

Luo Feng selected "Attack" directly, and after clicking, the names and prices of various secret manuals appeared on the screen.

World Destroyer, Category: Spear Technique.

Rating: Ultimate.

Price: 100 billion Chinese Yuan (full price), 50 billion Chinese Yuan (half price, requirement: 4-star contribution points).

Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, Category: Blade Technique.

Rating: Ultimate.

Price: 100 billion Chinese Yuan (full price), 50 billion Chinese Yuan (half price, requirement: 4-star contribution points).

Luo Feng didn't even look at the other miscellaneous items; he clicked on the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade without hesitation.

Nine-Layered Thunder Blade all nine layers—Price: 100 billion Chinese Yuan (full price), 50 billion Chinese Yuan (half price, requirement: 4-star contribution points).

Nine-Layered Thunder Blade first five layers—Price: 2 billion Chinese Yuan (full price), 1 billion Chinese Yuan (half price, requirement: 3-star contribution points).

Nine-Layered Thunder Blade first four layers—Price: 500 million Chinese Yuan (full price), 250 million Chinese Yuan (half price, requirement: 2-star contribution points).

Nine-Layered Thunder Blade first layer—Price: 50 million Chinese Yuan (full price), 25 million Chinese Yuan (half price, requirement: 1-star contribution points).

"I can't even afford the half-price for the fifth layer, so I'll have to buy the first four layers for now."

Luo Feng did not hesitate, clicked to purchase, and then confirmed.

"Beep!"

"Purchase successful!"

"Payment successful!"

"The Nine-Layered Thunder Blade first four layers secret manual will be delivered to your home, Mr. Luo Feng, within 24 hours."

Prompts appeared on the screen one after another.

"I have 250 million left. I don't know what other suitable secret manuals to buy, so I'll save it for now.

Now that I have money, I should first buy some health-boosting materials for my parents and Luo Hua; their health isn't exactly great."

Thinking this, Luo Feng began to make large-scale purchases.

The health-boosting materials in Limit Home are all high-quality goods that can genuinely improve the physical fitness of ordinary people.

Although they cannot raise someone to the Warrior level, they can strengthen the body and improve health; otherwise, the children of those wealthy families wouldn't be able to cultivate faster than ordinary people.

Luo Feng quickly spent over 20 million from his starting funds, yet it felt no different to him than spending two yuan.

Easy come, easy go; money is just a string of numbers to me anyway, given my rate of progress, Luo Feng thought to himself, then opened the Martial Artist Forum.

Although Luo Feng had a general understanding of this world, there were still many specific things he was unclear about.

"50 Questions on Martial Artists Hunting Monsters"

"Survival Knowledge in the Wild"

"How to avoid provoking Beast General Rank monsters"

"28 Methods of Escaping"

Luo Feng clicked into any posts that caught his interest, browsing through the wide variety of topics.

In an instant, his knowledge regarding the wilderness was greatly enriched.
